Welcome everyone to the Craft & Draft podcast! We are so excited to bring you what we love, talking with you about workshop, literacy, writing, reading, and real world teaching. 

The end of the year is over the horizon as we return from spring break. High Stakes testing season is upon us. Deadlines create stressors for all. So how do teachers navigate through all the demands and responsibilities expected of them?

Jacob and Pam discuss their schedules during this time and share how they stay focused on the workshop so they may keep their students reading, writing and learning. Pam discusses how she reflects on how she keeps her workshop balanced.  Jacob explains how a heavy testing season may sidetrack our students, but the workshop often provides a refuge for them.

Join Jacob and Pam as they reflect on the needs of their students as they venture through the educational world of testing, teaching and learning.  Keep your workshop focused and stay balanced!
